Dynamic Cupping
This unique modality combines traditional massage techniques with the negative pressure of specifically designed suction cups. These cups are then moved along the length of the muscle or left in a static position, depending on what the therapist is aiming to accomplish.
There are SO MANY benefits of this amazing modality! By incorporating negative pressure AND glide, Dynamic Cupping is an efficient way to address chronic conditions, injuries, and scar tissue. It does this by removing adhesions in the fascia layer which limit the ability for muscles to contract and move freely. You can think of adhesions as sticky points in the connective tissue between the layers of muscle. These resistance points can be due to scar tissue, tight muscle bundles (trigger points), repetitive overuse or imbalances within the body's joints or muscles.
Benefits include:- improved blood flow
- tissue repair
- scar tissue mobility, to aid healing
- decreased muscle tension
- increased joint mobility
- better overall muscle function
- mechanoreceptor stimulation*
*Mechanoreceptors are sensory organs located within your joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and skin. These receptors are sensitive to stretch and when stimulated send a signal to the brain. These signals communicate information about the tissue such as: it's overall length and tension, where that body part is in space and whether or not it's injured and in need of repair.
"I love Dynamic Cupping- it feels like you are getting two treatments in one. It seems so efficient... like my massage therapist can get more done during a session. I move so much better after my treatments." -M.R.
RAPID Neurofascial Reset
RAPID is an evidence based manual therapy technique that targets the central nervous system and it's role in pain management and mobility. It also address all layers of soft tissue including muscle, ligament, fascia, scar tissue and nerves.
RAPID treatments involve having the client move through an active range of motion, while the therapist contacts the targeted tissues.
This massage technique is unique in that:
RMT, Nicole Lewis is currently certified in Lower Body RAPID treatments.
She is able to address conditions
and pain in the abdominals,
lower back, hips, legs and feet. During pregnancy the body
is faced with
unique challenges that result in
changes to posture, movement patterns, and
balance. While these changes
are natural and necessary, they can lead
to some unwanted symptoms. These symptoms include
general discomfort,
low back/pelvis pain, upper back
stiffness, a feeling of imbalance,
trouble sleeping,
and fatigue. Massage is an excellent way to support your
body during this time. Our massage therapists are
specially certified in Prenatal Massage. This additional
training ensures our pregnant clients are in good hands! The benefits of seeing a Prenatal
certified RMT is their knowledge in hands-on massage and
stretching techniques, as well as client positioning and
draping. They are also specially trained to recognize
contraindications to care, and identify risks that can
be discussed with your Obgyn or Midwife prior to
starting treatment. As important as knowing HOW to
treat, is knowing WHEN to treat.
This makes RAPID Reset ideal for those who are limited
for time, are interested in a more 'sports focused'
style of treatment, who don't like traditional massages,
or for those looking to try something new!
We recommend coming to your appointment in comfortable clothing that you can move in easily (activewear is best). There may be some muscle tenderness the day following treatment, and may feel similar to a deep tissue massage.
